The Kebbi State Government has closed the College of Health Technology in Jega due to a violent students protest, Okay.ng reports.

The students were upset about several issues, including the college’s lack of federal accreditation, which means their diplomas wouldn’t be recognized nationally. This was the main reason for the unrest, but other grievances included inadequate facilities, such as no toilets or potable water, poor sanitation, and ineffective leadership.

The protest turned violent, with the students targeting the provost, burning his house and vandalizing his car.

The Divisional Police Office had to intervene to rescue the provost, who would have been lynched otherwise.

The college will remain closed for three to four weeks, and when it reopens, students will be required to return with their parents and sign an undertaking.
